Which boys name do you prefer?

[Bubbaloo]

We were really set on Ethan Samuel (and dh still is),but I'm also liking Elijah Samuel and think I prefer it.
We already have one Ds who is Oscar James.

Please help me decide-which do you prefer?

.

Ethan

elijah

Ethan... i know an elijah and an ethan,,,ethan seems a bit less of a mouthful somehow

does it go with the sibling names and surname?

Ethan is becoming rather a common (as in frequently used) name round here and I know one who is a bit of a PITA which has rather coloured it for me

I prefer Elijah and I know a nice one

I have 2 nephews called Sam (samuel) and 3 of DS's friends are called Sam along with 2 of his friends' siblings and I like all of them

ignore me!! yes sounds fine with sibling name

how about Ellis?

Ethan

Can somene tell me how you pronounce Elijah?

Ee-Lie-Jah

can be a soft or a hard J .. normally hard

Ethan ... but they're both nice (& DD was going to be Oscar - love Oscar...!)

Elijah

Message withdrawn

Elijah

prefer Elijah

judgment on Ethan is a bit biased though because I used to think it ws a lovely classy name and then heard a Mum shout "Eeee-faaan" in the park once which put me off a bit....

I like Elijah, but part of me thinks it sounds a bit biblical.

Ethan is very popular.

LOVE Oscar !

Twiglett-Ethan is also becoming fairly common here too,which is one of the main reasons why I'm swaying towards Elijah.

Not so keen on Ellis or should I say...not so keen on a person I know,named Ellis.

Elijah

Elijah, its a butiful name

Elijah

Ethan is a bit too popular

know alot of elijahs and not as many ethans

i like ethan actually

I prefer Elijah definitely, i too love the name oscar

Elijah - lovely name (Oscar is so cool BTW)

Not that keen on either (but don't dislike them)

Prefer Elijah.

Ethan - loads of them around here.

Elijah...have taught some very naughty Ethans in my time!
